Meta Reportedly Plans $200 Billion AI Data Center Project
The proposed facility, still under discussion, would significantly expand Meta's AI infrastructure across potential U.S. locations.
- Meta is reportedly in talks to build a new AI-focused data center campus with an estimated cost exceeding $200 billion.
- Potential locations under consideration include Louisiana, Wyoming, and Texas, with senior executives visiting these sites recently.
- The project reflects Meta's aggressive push into AI, following its announcement to spend $65 billion in 2025 on AI infrastructure expansion.
- This comes as other tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon also ramp up AI-related investments, with projected spending of $80 billion and $100 billion respectively in 2025.
- Separately, Meta is facing legal challenges over alleged hiring practices favoring foreign workers, which the company denies as baseless.
